More than 40 canvases of Saryan, Minas, Kojoyan and Hakobian were

The exhibition was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Vazgen
I Catholicos.

Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsian, Archbishop Navasard Kchoyan
and well-known artists and intellectuals participated in the event.

"Vazgen I lives in our hearts and souls. He sticks in our memories
as a patriot and wonderful person. He has created a sincere and
warm environment cordial to many of us. We bear a strong sense
of responsibility to keep up that beautiful picture", said Tigran
Sargsian.

"This exhibition is held appropriately. Vazgen I is one of the
most important and beloved persons of our history. There are only
few people that enjoy not only public love and estimation, but also
devotion and gratitude that change into cult worship", said Chairman
of the Union of Artists Karen Aghamian.
